What about "content" that certainly is a document, but which just happens to not be a hypertext document? For example, a mind-map, or zoomable-level-of-detail timeline. Content that, on the modern web, you'd expect to be sent as a lightweight Javascript viewer app wrapped around the document itself. But where that's only required because the web-browser itself isn't already doing the job of attempting to render that document. Like it does with, say, SVG.

A lot of people think that "web browser" has some fundamental identity with "hypertext document viewer", but that's not what "the Web" is — the web is the set of resources you can request over HTTP; not the subset of those resources that are formatted in HTML. A "web browser" is fundamentally "a tool for letting you navigate to the resources at HTTP URLs" — essentially an address-bar with a "meta-renderer sandbox" attached.

(Remember RealPlayer, QuickTime, and other plugins you could install that would enable your web browser to "natively" render new content types? Those things are all also "the web"!)

And to put an even finer point on it: if you put a PDF, or an SVG image, at a URL; and that PDF or SVG image contains clickable links — then that document is a web hyperdocument. A web of PDFs is just as much a web as a web of HTML documents is! So not even "publishing hyperdocuments on the web" is necessarily coupled to HTML. (Tangent: remember VRML? It allowed clickable links, too. VRML was a hyperdocument format!)

(Are plaintext files that happen to include textual URLs, hyperdocuments? If so, then a gopher or FTP client would also technically be a "web browser." That's going a bit too far, I think.)

Militaries have a long history of moon shot type endeavors - 50 years ago most of it was around physic abilities, today it is at least a bit more scientific, albeit fringe.
So the problem is that the type system does not give you the type of the caller of a method? Does e.g. Haskell support this?

(As an aside, I think one solution in Java would be to use the command pattern and pass an object (ModeratorCommand, etc.) to whatever code is processing your actions, so it can type check the command.)

Well, thanks to the US government, the very rare immune mediated neurological disease I have was discovered in the early 2000s, at the Mayo Clinic, via NIH grant funds.

Because of the disease, I had uncontrollable orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when sitting/standing up), and I was passing out multiple times a day. I also was diagnosed with multiple types of arrhythmia.

If it were not for the US government, I would not be alive. I am a dual US|EU citizen, and while being American is naturally a huge part of my identity, I would not be afraid to renounce my US citizenship. The only reason why I do not is because the US literally saved my life and others with the disease I have, worldwide.

They call it Autopilot. On their car configuration tool, the text that appears in the biggest font says "Full Self-Driving Capability". The fine print doesn't matter - Tesla is advertising more than it can deliver.

The analog hole isn't going away. At some point, the audio signal needs to get decrypted before going into the electromagnet that drives speakers. Even if you can somehow protect the electrical and magnetic signals, capturing a high quality audio signal from actual aucistic waves in the air is much simpler to do than capturing a visual signal from the light being emited from a monitor.

Google is like a virtual version of Walmart, if Walmart had cornered U.S. flea markets and installed trapdoors in each stall to flush vendors down into the sewer at a moments notice.

The best part is that everybody starts quoting the first amendment, and Google is like, "Look, we hear you. Just tell us where our intractable flushing procedure fucked up, and we will promise to never again accidentally flush that vendor into the sewer."
I think bluetooth is just hard to get right.

I was recently in the market for a Filco Majestouch Minila keyboard. I was very scared off by a few reviews which said that bluetooth just stopped working after a while. Is $500 worth it if it could break after a year? Maybe if it was under warranty. Anyway I opted for the wired version.

Never mind my Logitech MX Master 2 mouse which I could never get to work using Bluetooth, and even disconnected all the time with the USB receiver.

Like secrets can be kept by governments or scientists in this era, if it was real we'd be hearing about every other week.

Maybe the closest we have to space-time "modification" is gravitational time dilation, where the further you are away from a massive object the faster time moves (or actually the opposite way around). Hence satellites like GPS and even astronauts are out of sync with people on the surface of the earth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

Now imagine if you could get a spy satellite several seconds into the future from the surface of the earth and yet still have realtime communications somehow back to the earth. Then you'd have something rather interesting.
The current state of things is that dpi scaling at non fractional rates works perfectly when all screens are at the same scale. Everything else works if you use Wayland and your applications support wayland as well.

My spouse is also learning violin. Granted, dynamics vary from one family to the next, but still... you can't be her teacher. Likewise for parents of kids who are learning.

Imagine a code editor that, if it detects a syntax error, automatically erases the entire line, flashes some random pattern on the entire screen, and makes you start over.

It's brutal, because you're flooded with multiple concepts and difficult physical skills all at once, including tone production, intonation, reading, just hitting the right note instead of a wrong one, and so forth. Working on one thing may require blocking the other things out of your mind.

Learning a stringed instrument as an adult is very hard. I'm awed by anybody who can do it.

OP was talking about consumer circuits, I think they were mistaken about how likely they are to be isolated.
Ah, that makes sense. Good catch.
The perennial impostor syndrome problem is not so much worrying about asking questions, it's the lurking fear that asking questions means you don't already know and are therefore bad.

At least for myself, this manifestation is not "oh i don't want to be a bother", it's "if i ask questions {my peers will sneer at the idiot, my boss will take note that i'm disposable ...}".

This failure mode has, at many times over my academic career, been really vocally reinforced by my peers at the time. It's extremely damaging, really stupid groupthink that usually winds up with a silent classroom of people too cowed or proud to admit that they, the student, don't already know the material that they're here to learn. And it produces engineers who have to consciously force themselves to not do that, in industry. Like me.

It's especially tricky with some competitors' choices: for example, Github's free dependency update service is a HUGE chunk of the day-to-day security value for most projects and there's not much room to say you can justify a double-digit dollars-per-user-per-month to get the other tools.

Agreed on the rarity of integrated trackballs. I’ve got my numbers and f keys on layers. I don’t miss lots of dedicated keys for things that layers do well. Ymmv, but layers are why f keys are often omitted.

I'll have to look for some reviews - I'm concerned the actual trackball looks a bit small?

I have a dynamic IP and I was curious about how often it changed (I wanted to host some minor stuff out of my house).

So I rolled my own DDNS solution, and have it send me a text every time my IP changes. I have only seen one change in the last six months, and that was when the neighbourhood’s power was cut for two hours for maintenance. Rebooting or temporarily powering off my router doesn’t seem to be enough to force a change on it’s own, I believe it’s only when larger equipment upstream from me powercycles that my IP changes.

So (at least in my experience) the “dynamic-ness” of my home IP is relatively small.

I love the split layouts, I'm using a Redox Wireless as my daily driver :) Though I wonder, DIY keyboards usually focus on stuff like nice mechanical keyboard action, which to be honest I don't really care about that much. I would kill for a fully wireless Redox-like layout keyboard that has enough keys so you don't need to memorize weird chords to do things, just used normal chiclet keys, is as small and light as possible, and had a wireless receiver that doesn't suck (my Redox Wireless has a range of maybe 1 foot and freaks out all the time). The Kinesis Freestyle 2 is about as close as I could find (without a thumb cluster), but it's still pretty hefty and isn't fully wireless, plus I somewhat prefer the responsiveness and convenience of a Logitech-style unifying keyboard USB dongle over Bluetooth; and I found this other split keyboard [1], but it seems to be no longer produced.

I just wish there was a mass-market split ergo keyboard with similar form factor/polish as the Apple Magic Keyboard or one of any of the common Logitech keyboards out there.

While I don't know how to make a machine that promote the following without putting telemetry in the handle, I also coach people using my machine to row with a D-shaped motion that mimics taking the blade out of the water and almost scraping the top of your knees on the return.
